This post is the beginning of a systematic analysis of the lunatic Wrong-Wing Project 2025 and what we are doing about it. One of our first questions is whether anyone is paying attention. Answer:
YOU BETCHA!!
Even the MSM. Especially MSNBC: Rachel Maddow, Nicole Wallace, Ari Melber, Joy Reid, Chris Hayes, Morning Joe Scarborough, Ali Velshi, Jen Psaki, Lawrence O’Donnell, Stephanie Ruhle, Katie Phang, Symone Sanders-Townsend, Alicia Menendez, Michael Steele, Elie Mystal, Melissa Murray…
What is Project 2025, aka Mandate [They wish] for Leadership? Everything Wrong-Wingers complain bitterly about in America and mean to destroy. Honest elections, institutions, any form of honest and competent government, the courts, human rights, the economy, education, health care, you name it. It’s all right there. Whatever your personal issue may be, they’re against it.

Jun 11, 2024 — A group of House Democrats is warning about the far-right Project 2025 agenda for a second Trump White House.
The Democratic-led task force comes as groups on and off Capitol Hill are increasingly alarmed over Project 2025, a sweeping blueprint from the conservative Heritage Foundation that is preparing to quickly help staff a new GOP administration with plans for dismantling aspects of the federal government and installing loyalists for a second Trump term.

President Joe Biden has called twice-impeached and once-convicted felon Donald Trump a "dictator" who will impose his own style of autocratic government on the nation. For those who want hard evidence, read the ultraconservative Heritage Foundation's report "Project 2025" or those of former Trump adviser Russ Vought's views on radically changing the Constitution that propose actions a second Trump administration would take if re-elected.

So, then, who is organizing the fight against this monumental evil? Easy. Rep. Jared Huffman in the House, with the Stop Project 2025 Task Force
Mr Huffman said: “Project 2025 is more than an idea, it's a dystopian plot that’s already in motion to dismantle our democratic institutions, abolish checks and balances, chip away at church-state separation, and impose a far-right agenda that infringes on basic liberties and violates public will.

Stopping Project 2025 with Rep. Jared Huffman
Jun 11, 2024 — The Stop Project 2025 Task Force is being announced Tuesday by Rep. Jared Huffman of California. It’s the latest sign Democrats and outside groups are taking Republican Donald Trump’s campaign seriously in the expected November rematch against Democratic President Joe Biden. The task force plans to begin briefing colleagues and informing voters about Project 2025, a sweeping plan from the conservative Heritage Foundation to begin dismantling aspects of the federal government. Huffman says the “stakes couldn’t be higher.”
Jared William Huffman (born February 18, 1964) is an American lawyer and politician serving as the U.S. representative for California's 2nd congressional district.
The Stop Project 2025 Task Force
On June 11, 2024, Huffman unveiled The Stop Project 2025 Task Force, led by a group of House Democrats, to combat the right-wing Project 2025 policy proposals, authored by the conservative Heritage Foundation, that would radically reshape U.S. federal government, should a Republican president be elected in the 2024 U.S. presidential election.[43][44]
Huffman warned that the Project 2025 agenda would hit "like a blitzkrieg" (a "lightning war") and that lawmakers would need to be prepared to tackle it well in advance.[43] "If we're trying to react to it and understand it in real time, it's too late," he stated.[43] He described Project 2025 as "a wrecking ball against everything that most of us hold dear about our country and our democracy,"[44] adding "that's the biggest challenge we face ... How do you explain that this really is what they're going to do without overwhelming people?"[44]

Project 2025: Building now for a conservative victory through policy, personnel, and training.
It is not enough for conservatives to win elections. If we are going to rescue the country from the grip of the radical Left, we need both a governing agenda and the right people in place, ready to carry this agenda out on Day One of the next conservative Administration.
This is the goal of the 2025 Presidential Transition Project. The project will build on four pillars that will, collectively, pave the way for an effective conservative Administration.

Project 2025 Responds to House Democrats’ Unserious and Misleading Task Force
WASHINGTON—Dr. Kevin Roberts, president of The Heritage Foundation and Heritage Action for America released the following statement in response to House Democrats’ “Stop Project 2025 Task Force” launched this morning:
“Project 2025 will not be 'stopped' 🤦 by an unserious, 🤦mistake-riddled 🤦press release or a task force of House Democrats lacking a basic understanding of federal governance. 🤦It’s amusing 🤦🤦🤦how those on the Left seem surprised that conservative policy organizations advocate for conservative policies. Yet instead of addressing the issues caused by this administration 🤦and Congress, 🤦House Democrats are dedicating taxpayer dollars to launch a smear campaign 🤦🤦 against the united 🤦effort to restore self-governance🤦 to everyday Americans. 🤦
“The Left is in a frenzy 🤦because, for the first time, more than 110 conservative organizations are uniting to provide personnel and policy solutions 🤦that prioritize 🤦the American people’s best interests. 🤦Unlike the Left, we embrace transparency🤦🤦 and welcome public engagement: 🤦🤦Our policy recommendations are publicly available on our website.
“Under the Biden administration, the federal government has been weaponized🤦🤦 against American citizens, 🤦 our border invaded, 🤦and our institutions captured 🤦by woke ideology. 🤦🤦🤦The task force launched by House Democrats only underscores the Left’s fear 🤦of losing its grip on their authoritarian bureaucracy. 🤦🤦🤦🤦If their strategy is to resort to scare tactics 🤦instead of tackling the genuine concerns 🤦of Americans 🤦regarding the unsustainable cost of living,🤦🤦 rampant crime, 🤦🤦border crisis,🤦🤦 and global unrest 🤦🤦🤦spawned by their left-wing policies🤦—well, they're more than welcome to try. 🤦🤦🤦We will not give up and we will win.”🤦🤦
As if.
Remember, whatever they scream loudest about, we should do more of.
